The Premier League (PL) team, Manchester City FC (MCFC) have inked a new multi-year partnership with Italian fashion firm, C.P. Company.
The alliance will commemorate the city of Manchester’s shared relationship with the Italian brand, which was formed in the 1980s via genuine involvement with football fans.
C.P. Company, as Manchester City’s official style fashionwear partner, will develop a special collection of fashionwear to be donned exclusively by the Cityzen’s men’s first team players, coaching staff, and executive management while travelling for UEFA Champions League away fixtures, along with a number of other matches.
Among them is the legendary Goggle Jacket, which was designed in a bespoke style with co-branded lenses and embroidered emblems. All clothing have been redone in the distinctive colours of C.P. Company (Navy Blue) and Manchester City (Light Blue).
During the collaboration, C.P. Company will also support City in the Community’s (CITC) Healthy Goals project, which will renovate three community and school pitches.
Kaitlyn Beale, Vice President Global Partnership Sales at City Football Group, said, “We’re pleased to announce a new partnership with C.P. Company today. Both Manchester City and the Italian brand play a key role in football culture in the UK and beyond, with passionate followers and a shared commitment to embracing new trends and innovation. We’re looking forward to working with C.P. Company over the coming seasons.”
Lorenzo Osti, President of C.P. Company, said, “Our partnership represents an exciting journey from Bologna to Manchester, where two visions, inspired by the same values, harmoniously merge. The aesthetic symbolism of the C.P. Company Goggle Jacket has become an icon for football fans, a project where sporting aspiration embraces and keeps its roots alive.”
